Women's Earth Alliance

Women's Earth Alliance "was inspired by a network launched in 2005, called Women's Global Green Action Network--an incredible group of activists, mothers, entrepreneurs, educators, health workers, and community leaders joining forces from countries around the world.

"Women's Earth Alliance, an Earth Island Institute project, is a response to the mandate created by this group of women during these early stages.
